Alexandra Pirici is a contemporary performance artist. Her practice is a combination of performance, visual art, and choreography, yet she recalls her performances sculptures (Neue Spielzeit, 2016). She reconceives and visualises the past and present occurrences, imitate social memes and represent sculptural additions to monumental sculptures (Art.thehighline.org, no date). Pirici also calls her art performance, sculpture (Neue Spielzeit, 2016). Yet, in a sense her performances could be affiliated to participatory art, in particular delegated performances. As Parici mentioned in an interview with Sandra Teitge, her works revives and activates the public instead of repressing or neglecting its audience. Similarly, Bishop, (2012) explains,
Within the past 50 years, there has been an increasing amount of women in the government. Whether these women hold powerful positions such as Secretary of State, or hold minor positions such as PTA President, a political revolution is brewing. The United States of America is lacking substantially with regards to females in office, in fact if one were to look statistically at the amount of women in the government, the United States is failing tremendously. Although the United States likes to claim that they are the land of opportunities, it seems as if the only ones reaping those benefits are cis white males.

In accordance with today’s standards, every serious ballet dancer should have ‘dancing en pointe’ in their repertoire. Yet there was a time when dancing en pointe was a mysterious and mystical practice that one young woman brought on stage for the entirety of a ballet, changing the dance world forever. Marie Taglioni was a trailblazer in many aspects of dance, including technique, style, and costume. Her legacy lives on in the romantic ballets of yesteryear, still performed today for thousands of audiences worldwide.
Madame Reisz piano playing seemed unique in that it impressed the audience she played for, but it also impressed Edna who never heard a piano recital as eloquent as her’s. As a result, it causes Edna to take on a lot of inspiration to produce art that is not only as professional as Madame Reisz’s piano playing, but to also find a way that she can make a living off her work which she ultimately accomplishes. As a result, Edna had great respect for Madame Reisz’s piano playing because it revitalizes her own pursuit of artistic creativity that she’s been missing out throughout her

Do you know what it's like to be starving without no food? There's a big problem with kids and not eating in America, and i'm sure in other places too. School for children is a very important place for them. Some kids don't get to go home and have a meal or even eat at all. Many school give free food to kids while they're at school, these programs such as schools or free camps save starving children that never get to eat. In the story Anna Quindlen points out that getting food stamps for people that actually need it takes more time then selling weapons. “Stamp application is twelve often impenetrable pages; a permit to sell weapons is just two.” This shows we have a big problem in America.

“Antoni is noted for her performance and installation pieces which have challenged the status quo of the art world by using
The sculptures “Apollo and Daphne” and “Two Women” share elements and principles with one another, such as shape, size and texture. Bernini’s work is a life size piece that complements the figure of the two characters. The facial expressions, hands, feet and hair of “Apollo and Daphne” are in reasonable detail; however there are no lines on the bodies to create depth and texture. On the other hand, Mueck challenge’s the viewer by changing the scale of his work, with “Two Women” minute and in incredible proportion with the features and figure of the women.
Piccinini’s sculptures are familiar yet fantastical in their depiction of possible future species and their interaction with human beings. Often confronting yet endearingly vulnerable, her sculptures give form to her fascination with the relationship between the ‘natural’ and the ‘artificial’ while asserting the power of

The first performance piece was Innumerable choreographed by Cristina McKeever. It was based on the famous documentary Numbered by Danna Doron and Uriel Sinai. The story is about Auschwitz prisoners in the concentration camps. Regardless of religion, all these people were tattooed on their arms or chests with serial numbers. There are approximately 400,000 prisoners in Auschwitz, but only some several thousand survivors are still alive today. In order to attract the audiences, the piece started with a woman’s voice speaking the quotation of Primo Levi, one of the survivor in Auschwitz, “With time, my tattoo has become a part of my body. I do not display and do not hide it. I show it unwillingly to those who ask out of curiosity, readily and with anger to those who say they are incredulous.” Eight dancers then appeared and danced in groups as well as in pairs and alone. Especially, they displayed a lot of run motions in order to portray the Auschwitz
A fascination with the human body, body were an experience that could somehow be held in common. The ways in which we might experience the body as connected or represent it as disconnected in a live performance. Shifting attention from traditional art object to the artist’s physical action further proposed that art existed in real space and real time.
